Wayne Goss


Gough chose the Sydney Town Hall for his memorial send-off, with an on-stage symphony orchestra and a choir. And for his parting selection, Hubert Parry's setting of the words of William Blake - Jerusalem

     I will not cease from Mental Fight,  
     Nor shall my Sword sleep in my hand:  
     Till we have built Jerusalem,  
     In England's green & pleasant Land

Today for Wayne Goss it was the Gallery Of Modern Art, Brisbane. With contemporary Australian art on the walls, no raised stage, and at the end a track from the Rolling Stones - You can't always get what you want

     You can't always get what you want  
     You can't always get what you want  
     You can't always get what you want  
     But if you try sometimes you just might find  
     You just might find  
     You get what you need
